Xbiked too hard, looking for a new fork right now.

pretty sure i've been riding on soft tires for a year straight just to avoid the garage
i don't know who else to admit this to because it's kind of embarrassing, but i have a horrible habit of knowing my tire pressure is low and just ignoring it.
i can literally feel the drag on the road. i know i'm working harder than i need to. but my floor pump is buried in the back of my shared garage, and the mental friction of walking down there, dragging it out, hooking it up, and putting it back is somehow worse than just riding on a sponge.
i'll tell myself ‘i'll pump it up this weekend’ for three months straight.
eventually i just bought a tiny electric pump (hoto) and left it in the bowl by my front door next to my house keys.
it's actually pathetic that i had to buy a gadget to outsmart my own laziness, but grabbing it on my way out the door actually happens now. i just feel lighter on the bike. wish i admitted how lazy i was sooner instead of fighting the drag.

Went to change a flat tyre this morning, and saw the state of the other tyre was somehow even worse - how this was holding onto 80PSI I will never know
There were 4 different patches of rubber completely missing off an otherwise pretty much bald tyre. I evidently have not been looking closely while doing over 100km of trail riding per week

Seen in Malmö, Sweden.
I’m all for hand position options, don’t get me wrong, but…

Just swaped them left to right.
Or just flip the rotor, so it wears evenly?

Ozark Trail 24" M.1 Vibe mountain bike split in half while riding
Here are pictures:

Would the following activities cause this bike to split in half over the course of 6 months?
- Multiple laps on a beginner MTB trail with moderate jumps
- Jumping multiple times on a 13" inch ramp and landing on a concrete sidewalk
- Attempting multiple wheelies
This is a youth bike. The bike split in half during a normal, cruising ride. According to the youth cyclist, the handle bar started wobbling before it split. Luckily, the cyclist only sustained bruises on the chest, face, and hands, but otherwise, no broken bones.

Burned out the shunt in my controller. Was putting out over 4K watts for too long while pulling a trailer uphill.
That was a fun time getting everything back home. I sent the controller back and it was resoldered. They are saying it's good as new, but what is the reality?
*just got it back in the mail. 6 day turnaround. Everything is working again.

No picture (is that against the rules?), but I can't wait for pictures that will invariably show up of some 140mm 32er config on the front of a 26er.
